We are booked for the 19th May trip, and really looking forward to meeting a wide variety of fellow travellers. We come from the "Old Farts Age Group", but would like to think there is still plenty of life in us yet.

I'm not sure what you do on your particular trip!!But do everything and try everything, it's always going to be a lot cheaper than home!!There's loads to do and eat!! I was fortunate that I had an amazing guide, but just in case yours is lacking climb the world financial centre in shanghai!! The sleeps trains aren't as bad as you would expect but definitely worth in investing in an eyepatch and ear plugs!! Just make sure you get involved and have as much as possible!!
